I have four turken chicks, now 5 1/2 weeks old. They are from Ideal. Really shaping up to be very nice birds, with awesome free ranging skills. Beautiful colors too. It looks like two of them will be red with black lacing.
Two of them have yellow legs, while the other two have darker, almost gray-green legs.
Does this signify anything? One of the yellow-legged ones turned out to be a cockerel, sexed as a pullet.

Surely I can't be the only BYC member with turkens.

Thanks. I was able to sex the one turken "Rosie" as a cockerel only because his comb became very obvious by week 3. The others don't have Rosie's comb, but one has me wondering.
